Duke Riley, MFA Fine Arts (Sculpture) ’06, was featured in a Forbes roundup of artists embracing environmentalism or sustainability at Paris Art Week. Riley was recognized for his “sustainable artistic practice” that “explores the dichotomy between powerful institutions and the natural world, and addresses environmental issues raised by an overwhelmingly consumerist, capitalist society.”

Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Practice in Fine Arts Carlos Motta was featured in ArtNet for his series “Descubriendo el nuevo mundo” or “Discovering New World.” Motta used AI to create work that responds to the 16th-century Flemish engraver Theodore de Bry’s visual depictions of the Americas, “flip[ping] the script on de Bry’s austere whitewash of the violence of conquest.”

Art by Terry Winters, BFA ’71, is reviewed in Whitehot Magazine. “With hesitation one can only posit what Winters level of study would have produced had he taken up the field of science, rather than his dedication devoted to the calling he has pursued?” writes Edward Waisnis. “This thought is approached with hesitation since the realization of such an alternative would result in an intense loss. We benefit having Winters in the upper tier of contemporary painting.”
